#We didn't get enough of their friendship

hc that Jason has like the cutest giggle ever, like he only laughs most of the time, which is super rumbly and deep, but his giggles are just soo.. idk cute? Like his shoulders would shrug a little and he has a dimple on his left cheek that would show up (fight me, this is canon bc I said so) I feel like I can imagine he giggles super hard once, and the entire Argo ii would be dying of cuteness, I can literally imagine Percy and Leo doubling over laughing their guts out (even Nico would smile at that) bc Jason's giggle just seems super out of character for him cuz, hello? Here's the son of Jupiter, toppler of the black throne, slayer of krios, child of rome, praetor of CJ, out here giggling like a 5 year old girl?? Pure comedy, they'd never let him live that one down.

"Jason was the happy robin" this, "jason was the angry robin" that. Let's all be fully honest here Jason was the lonely robin

my greatest achievement in DA2 is maxing out Carver's friendship

and all it took was begrudgingly kissing a little templar ass in act 1 because Carver didn't want to plan a prison break if my Hawke got his ass arrested for being stupid.

Hi 👋, me again~

Anjo Nala, Isolde, and J all sing to themselves when they idle in the suitcase, and now I think they should all bond (after Vertin most definitely explains Anjo's situation to J). Interestingly, Anjo and J specifically both sing a song about longing to reunite with someone again.

J's song is about the singer reminiscing as they wait for that person to return to him. (Ewughhgh 😭)

Anjo Nala's song is about the singer traveling to find that person and their commitment to keep searching until she finds them. (Aguwgghgg 😭)

So, one day, I like to imagine that the three of them, in a rare moment of stillness, happen to be near one another. Isolde begins to hum, and when she tapers off, J adds in a few verses to carry the tune, and Anjo Nala finishes it off. Cause they are my pookies and I love them 💕

Do you plan on sharing that? 👁️

There's a whole lotta characters that sing during their idle voice lines, but I think I got what you mean. Three characters whose song talk about longing (Isolde's is more like humming a tune), all three of them get together to sing a lone song about their yearning.

At least Anjo and J have found comfort in their new environment. Anjo has found peace and companionship, J has found relief and a sense of accomplishment after everything, but Isolde is still yearning for that silver of love that she craves.

It wouldn't be strange for Isolde to hum a tune during her idle moments as a way to find comfort and distraction within herself, and as a way to help her and also himself, J accompanies her so neither feel alone.

And how could Anjo ignore their singing? Her voice and J's harmonize perfectly to Isolde's haunting melody.

A lone man's act might be impressive, but the warmth of an act filled with companionship can't be put down.

Also J definitely chased Anjo the first time she appeared near them during this moment of companionship before Vertin explained the situation.

Everyone posts about how Stardew Valley is a cozy LGBT+ inclusive game but NO ONE mentions the lack of a platonic option for the bachelors/bachelorettes. Which would be good for aspec people and also just more pleasant for many casual players I believe but that's not even the point. I just want to become best friends with everyone and not only does that require me dating everyone at once and feeling like a sleazebag because of it (ik the bad cutscene can be avoided but I know in my heart they'd be hurt if they knew) BUT it also means the women flirt with me!!!!! Constantly!!!!!!! It makes me sick to my stomach. Truly ruining the characters I liked

I wonder if Agate or Spinel were similar to Dot when they were younger. Especially Spinel. He is a recluse and spends a lot of time alone in front of computers. Friede called him shy, which probably has some truth to it. Maybe he never had any friends (human friends, at least) and just grew up like that.

oh noooooo I don't like that

Okay so, I don't want to give spoilers in this post so this will all be somewhat vague, but I do want to say that there's another part to the Vault of the Roots after the bundles where the player's actions and dialogue are a lot more.. important and meaningful to the story. If anyone felt that this vault's story left a little to be desired, then definitely try the next part! Like I said, this next part gets started after you finish all four bundles (which isn't too hard or time consuming for this one), and like trust me, it's so much more emotionally and narratively satisfying than the first part is.

(Small spoiler in below paragraph for the first part of the quest!)

I don't want to hype it up too much, but it does handle the player's actions, thoughts, and agency a lot better than the first part. I haven't actually finished it yet so I'm not sure how the ending will be, but honestly, I think it'll be good. I think this next part will be especially more gratifying for players who weren't able to convince The Gardener (aka Hekla was the one to change his mind) since our actions and dialogue in this section directly help him in a much bigger way.

this may or may not turn into a fic but i can't stop thinking about sandra and max taking chris to a nice restaurant for their two week anniversary of him being in the polycule (because lbr these bitches would ABSOLUTELY be the types to celebrate small anniversaries like that (affectionate)) and they give him a small present like a pen or a watch or something and they're like "happy anniversary babe 🥰" and he's like "aww thank you 🥹 anniversary of what though"

and sandra and max just share a look of horror as they realize that despite doing couple-y things with chris and chris reciprocating that they never actually, like. properly asked him to be with them so yeah he would be confused by this wouldn't he gkldsjafkld

"Everyone always leaves/abandons/rejects me =C" is such a huge red flag for me. Saw someone saying this on social media the other day and knee-jerk instinct was "blockblockblock"
